Colby turns 1

Dear Colby

Happy 1st Birthday! I cannot believe you are already one.
I know you will read this when you are older and won’t remember being one but I want you to know what a great year we have had. I will admit, it started out a little shaky. I hated being pregnant and even more I hated delivering you, it was rough but looking back it was worth all of the pain and the weight I put on.
The minute you were laid in my arms, you melted my heart and I will keep on loving you, forever.
First off, you are an amazing baby. You have always been a great sleeper and you will eat anything! Yes, I mean anything I put in front of you.
I feel like right now we are best buddies, and I couldn’t love anything more. I love how you follow my every step and how you must always be by my side. You make me feel so loved and special. I love how you are 100% a mommas boy, and I know it might not be fair to Darrin but I don’t want our bond to ever change. I feel like I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect baby. Darrin works super hard at his job so that I can be with you during the day and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I love that I am able to raise you without the help of daycare.
Here are some of my favorite things about you; you are a cuddler, 100%, I love it because so am I, I love how wide you open your mouth for every bite of food, I love how you growl as a way of communicating and that you do head stands all the time, I love your expression when you are trying to concentrate, I love how you stick all of the gold fish in your mouth at once, I love your curly hair and how much you have become a water baby.
Those are just a few of the hundreds of things I love about you. Most of all I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU and I LOVE YOU.

Love
Mommy

  1. Riss- That is the cutest post ever! What a great idea. I love how Colby growls and how he opens his mouth really wide for every bite of food too!

  2. I can't believe Colby is one. I haven't seen him for so long it's hard for me to picture him not as a little baby. I know you are such a good mommy!

    I'm so sorry about your difficult pregnancy. I totally understand. To this day I can't watch Jungle Book because I have too many memories of throwing up while Jonathan watched it. Hang in there, get lots of rest and don't let your tummy get empty. My doctor gave me a prescription Vitamin B (I don't remember what it was called, but it started with a P). Good Luck!

     
  3. Happy Birthday Colby! Cute post, but you need to post some more pictures! When are you guys coming to Utah?

     
  4. I had on my calendar that it was his birthday but I never got around to sending a card. Can you believe he's already one year old? Time flies! I'm so excited for you to have a one year old, they are so much fun! Happy Birthday Colby!
